Spring Bonus

Since the weather's been a little warmer lately, the boys and I have been taking walks around the neighborhood again. It's fun to see the changes year-to-year, new houses being built, old ones being bought and sold, families moving in and out (as evidenced by toys on the lawn). The other day we encountered a little spring bonus: a pile of freshly cut tree trimmings, with obvious flower buds on them. I've never forced flowers before, but it seemed like a great opportunity to try. I was very pleased with the results!

(I'm the big one)

About Me

I'm a research-scientist-turned-?. I have 2 great little boys and a wonderful husband. I've been gardening in the ground for five years now and love growing things, even when it doesn't go quite as planned.
